Remus: Oh cmon, Sirius isn’t in love with me. He’s straight

Remus: I’m not even gay either! why would I care?

James, to himself: Sirius Black? Straight? Never thought I’d hear those words

Later, In the common rooms

Sirius: Have you made any progress talking to Remus? James: Well he’s definitely in love with you. But he thinks you’re straight.

Sirius: Why wouldn’t you tell him I’m not?

James: Well…he also thinks he’s straight

Sirius, spitting out his drink: Remus? Straight? I think not!

James is the natural confidant of both Remus and Sirius. When they both swear him to secrecy on the same topic, James is stuck watching his friends pine for each other without being able to say a word to bring them together. A lesser man might shrink from the challenge of finding a way to break his promise without breaking his promise, but not James Potter!

I love this so much, holy shit

It’s hilarious, and Matchmaker James will always be my favorite. The mutual pining between them is just-

also the end is just the perfect touch!
